Great idea!!!!

I took the canopy off the swing frame and re-made it by using outdoor fabric and using the pieces of the old one as a template. It was a lot of work , but it was worth it. It is easier if you have 2 people to do it. It is a lot of fabric and we just laid it on the deck to cut out. Hope this helps.

i took the one bar off last year..because it was easy..i was thinking i would have to use hvy duty snaps or something like that. i will have a look at it again.
i saved all the fabrics,they are in a box somewhere in the basement.
i was playing with the idea of using the mesh we use to make totes..it is a plastic and comes is loads of colors. the wind took the swaing off the desk a few years ago durig a storm.

great job
